Ooooh. I'm bad, now. I should really be leaving, but I've been meaning to say,"Hello" Dandelion. Plus, I absolutely *must* explain myself. I don't think it's the humor so much as it is the alternative "draw" (comedy) that attracts his audience. The so-called news has to pull some pretty stupid news-like and not-so-newslike stunts in their attempts to draw an audience, and *still* they're constrained to stay within the confines of an admitedly changing definintion of "news." All I'm saying is that this comedy premise gives him more freedom, and that's a good thing, so long as we're not confused about it.
